| Additional Information: | A waterless single-occupant vault toilet is located on the interior side of the loop rood adjacent to the trailhead parking area. It is a small rectangular wood structure on a concrete slab, with brown board and batten cladding, and a gabled roof covered with corrugated fiberglass. It has a steel door on the front, small rectangular frosted polycarbonate window and two grated vents at floor level on each side, and a metal ventilation pipe on the back. Forest Service standard plans indicate that similar styles were in use from the late 1950s through the late 1980s, with this model dating to after 1970. |
